On a recent trip back to my hometown decided to stay at Sir William Fox for its quiet location and just a short walk to all amenties .We stayed in a family room which was very clean and comfortable . Sir William Fox is also great value for money ; staff are very warm and welcoming.

Spent 6 months in residence whilst attending the marine college. Fantastic location for the college, roll out out of bed straight into the class room. Staff absolultley fantastic, rooms were cosy and beds proper comfortable. Evening meals were freshly cooked and not short on portion size. All in all very good value for money.

Unfortunately my colleague did have a problem with noise on the first day we stayed which was caused... More
